DECLARATION: FORMATION OF LIAISON COMMITTEE OF MILITANTS FOR A REVOLUTIONARY 
COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL
(Bolivia, New Zeraland, Peru, Europe)

During the latter part of 1995 the League for a Revolutionary Communist 
International (LRCI) suffered significant splits in its ranks. For five 
years the League had been moving rightwards. The pressure for this movement 
resulted from the unfolding events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. 
It represented a capitulation by the leadership of the League to the 
democratic (neo-liberal) counter-revolution. This degeneration of the LRCI 
was crystallised by the events in Bosnia, when the League refused to defend 
the Bosnian Serbs when they were attacked (bombed) by NATO, and when instead 
they called for the imperialists to arm their allies in the region.
We seek to preserve and develop the progressive LRCI tradition in its 
healthy period and appeal to all those who share this ambition to join us.
We have therefore decided to create a Liaison Committee to embrace all the 
comrades from Latin America, New Zealand and Europe who share this goal. 
Initially the committee will be based on fraternal relations between the 
groups and individuals from different countries. Its purpose will be to 
unify, co-ordinate and facilitate discussion between the groups.
Its aim will be to forge principled revolutionary regrupment on an 
international democratic centralist basis. To all those militants who want 
to create a revolutionary communist international against opportunism, 
centrism and sectarianism we extend our welcome and call on you to work with 
us in the vital task of regenerating Marxism in the wake of the collapse of 
the Degenerated Workers’ States.
